Agri-footprint® - LCA food database An introduction
Agri-footprint 3.0
Agri-footprint 3.0 is a high quality and comprehensive life cycle inventory (LCI) database, focused on the agriculture and food sector.
In the coming days: Agri-footprint 3.0 will be available for openLCA users!

Sustainable products & supply chains
Healthy & Sustainable diets
Sustainable business management & reporting
Sustainability Performance Management
Sustainable Nutrition Assessment
Life Cycle Assessment & Carbon Footprints
• Facilitate transparency and a more rapid transformation to sustainable food supply chains;
• A food specific LCI database did not exist;
• Need for agri-food LCIs due to; Approximately 25% of all LCAs are agri-food related; Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) projects (EU).
• No opportunities to publish company specific data in LCI
databases.

Environmental, the Netherlands) (version 2.0)
Transparent Background documentation publically available
Widely accepted and used By the food industry, LCA community, scientific community and governments worldwide
Land Use Change Fully integrated
5,000+ products & processes Crops, (intermediate) products from processing, feed compounds, food products, animal production systems
Frequent updates 2014 Release of first version in SimaPro 2015 Release of Agri-footprint 2.0 2017 Release Agri-footprint 3.0 available for different LCA software (openLCA, SimaPro 8.4)
2017 Release of Agri-footprint 4.0 (expected end of 2017)
Consistent with LCIA ILCD and ReCiPe
Used for • Carbon footprints • Hot-spot analyses • Environmental product declarations
(EPD) • Product Environmental Footprint
(PEF) screenings • (comparative) product Life Cycle
Assessments (LCA) • Defining sustainable nutrition

Global Feed Lifecyle Institute
GFLI is a global initiative to bring major feed organizations together to develop a freely and publicly available feed LCA database and tool;
Provide LCI and LCA of feed ingredients to LCA community, tool developers and business experts;
Data is generated with Agri-footprint framework, making use of the Agri-footprint development tools and background data;
Data will be available in Agri-footprint.
